What are your thoughts on embedded scripting languages, for when your C needs a little more runtime flexibility? There are a few written in C and are designed to be slotted into a larger C program.
If you want to start a "computer vision" category, I've written a little library that might qualify: QuickBlob (LGPL connected component labeling)
- yoklov 12y agoI've worked with a lot of these (I work in game development, where this sort of thing is fairly popular), and IMO they're not worth the significant runtime cost and software complexity required to integrate them. In my experience, it's almost never that much harder to develop the code in C or C++ (especially given how much better C/C++ debuggers are from those found in scripting languages). Most of the dynamism and flexibility that actually give you benefits (IMO module systems and hot code reloading -- the latter of which is actually easier to do in C than in a lot of other languages) can be achieved using dynamically linked libraries, anyway.
